From the publisher

Mistress Peachum was Lavinia Fenton, an 18th-century actress who was the original Polly Peachum in John Gay s celebrated play, "The Beggar s Opera." Both Lavinia and the play were overnight sensations; however, she enjoyed only a few months of fame before she caught the eye of the Duke of Bolton, a married aristocrat, and her life of glamour became ever more scandalous. With a cast of politicians and pickpockets, highwaymen and whores, "Mistress Peachum's Pleasure" brilliantly illuminates the interplay between the theater and the social and political climate of 18th-century London."
